Passengers who are booked on flights departing between 22 September and 23 September are strongly encouraged to postpone non-essential travel. The airline will waive re-booking fees for all tickets issued worldwide (irrespective of fare type) on or before 20 September for travel on Dragonair between 22 September (Hong Kong time) and 24 September. Passengers without confirmed bookings are advised not to go to the airport. Dragonair will assist with alternative arrangements for affected passengers.

assengers are reminded that the situation can change rapidly and are advised to check the latest flight information on the airline’s website, www.dragonair.com, before departing for the airport.

To ensure customers receive the latest flight status updates via SMS or email, they are advised to update their contact details in Manage My Booking.
